Is there a general term for the sort of thing represented by "Teninch" fic, where people put together random characters played by Billie Piper and David Tennant other than Rose and the Doctor? I have been browsing Hitchhiker's Guide fic for a couple of days and have run across both Sherlock and Khan in fics which I therefore assume have Martin Freeman's Arthur Dent in mind, since they have both been played by Benedict Cumberbatch.

So like when Jewel Staite and Morena Baccarin went to SG-1 from Firefly and there was a wink and a nod to that effect about having been together before? Shipping that kind of thing?

Ah, sorry. It was "two actors played characters on series Z, both actors eventually went to series Q, and their characters, despite not having met, or even possibly being antagonistic, are shipped or behave like they've already known each other for a lifetime." Is that more like what you meant?

Oh, so "Captain Picard and the Tenth Doctor get crossed over because Patrick Stewart and David Tennant were in Hamlet together, despite there never being an official Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover" (to that point, anyway, as there have been some comic ones and the like.)

Was that before or after the Farscape additions of cast to SG-1?

I don't remember. And I might have the wrong Stargate. But yes, same idea.

Keller and a Wraith, so Atlantis.(I lost track of my Atlantis watch and I wasn't on Firefly) Actor reuse on same show, though lots of prothesis makes it much less noticeable)
